Well-said, but 'years of work' do you no good if you don't already have talent in that area. If you don't, you can look at thousands of autographs for decades, and you still should change jobs. Unfortunately, we have a few people in the hobby who have put in decades of work and never had any skill to begin with. Some of these people are currently rendering opinions in this forum that are basically worthless.
